Another possibility (with a DSLR camera )-

You may have used a shutter-speed that was too fast for the flashlight sync.

As a result, images with that shutter-speed, will all show part of the image 'un-exposed' or 'Black' as in your screen-clip.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.0, Photoshop 27.0, ACR 18.0, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0 .

First, try disabling GPU in the preferences (Preformance tab). Any better?
If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.
If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it.

Hi

Try going to Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw and disable the GPU in the settings, restart Photoshop
